“Inside Out": Inward coherence and governance opens the door to external policy
By 2035 the EU has become the governing authority of scientific and technological innovations related to security of the citizen. A major policy imperative in 2035 has seen capability development lead to a convergence of research in the fields of civil security, policing needs, emergency response and disaster management. This convergence has opened the way to linking the EU’s internal decision-making structures and processes to its external strategic environment. Security research contributes to meeting related technology needs such as collaborative technologies for interagency work and intelligence sharing. Progressive standards and codes of conduct are critical to enabling the EU to implement responsible technology governance. Citizens play a growing role in decision-making processes and are anxious that their rights and liberties, as well as foundations for living, are protected, while the EU expanded its internal framework into a homeland security system. Citizens want a role for the EU as a security actor – within and beyond the Union – but checked and closely overseen by the European Parliament and other mechanisms. Climate change is indisputably accepted by EU 2035 policymakers as a limiting factor on key resources. One result is that also for this reason, national and EU decision-makers consistently focus on public perceptions of citizens' security needs. Security research among other things contributes new social media-based technologies for knowledge management and information integration. Multidisciplinary mapping of fundamental rights enforcement and the acceptability of security technologies and interventions have become paramount across the EU Member States. Security research thus comprises a technology track and an institutional one that covers organizational analyses and critical studies linked to the EU’s internal functioning regarding its security sector. Main research themes are based on promoting public-private partnerships and relate to commonly perceived strategic challenges of threats such as remote sensing, communications, mobility, critical dependencies, cyber attacks, CBRN (chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear), or climate change-related incidents, with a focus on development of capabilities for comprehensive use – together with advancing standards and codes of conduct for mainstreaming responsible technology governance. Parallel to this development, organisational studies linking threats and risk assessments to decision-making have become valuable tools in 2035 for national and EU decision-makers. These focus on these ever-growing strategic threats that can originate as easily beyond the EU as within it. Above all, however, a more efficient and effective EU internal framework is the first priority of research and policy. Security research therefore essentially includes development and improvement of educational measures enabling all-of-community approaches. It further includes critical studies of institutional qualities and European capabilities to provide comprehensive support to the European citizens in times of crisis, involving increased acceptable and accepted use of technologies.
